This is such a good musical!!!!! it is about poor boys who carry the newspapers to people. Once there is a raise with the price on the "papes", they demanded a STRIKE! This is basically the French Revolution, New York style!! Totally recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to see this on Broadway. Extremely good BTW. The movie was really good, and there were different people in it that when I went to see it in NYC. The only odd part was that it actually had an intermission. I am dead serious. Just saying, who goes to the movies for a 15 minute break during the movie?

It's a musical. Singing takes a lot of energy out of you... They also need a break. I should know... I sing my heart out to Alexander Hamilton! I always end up chugging a water bottle after I'm done. So next time don't be so upset about the breaks the performers take.
